Pony rides last approximately 10 minutes and will be
hand-led by a worker at the farm. Parents/grandparents/siblings are welcome to
walk alongside if necessary.

Digital photos will be EMAILED, so please provide an
email address.

We have large and small horses, so if you have older children
or adults wanting to ride, let us know ahead of time so we can have a bigger
horse available. Most of the horses we use are not super-small, but they are all
older and very, very gentle and love children! Please trust our judgement when
bringing your child (or yourself!) out for a special ride.

TIPS are very much appreciated, as they purchase treats for
our horses for all their hard work! We have a bright green box at the arena if
you'd like to donate!

Address of the farm is 3809 SE School Rd, Greensboro, NC

miss. Please park sensibly, try not to block anyone in!
